Hosea 7
1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.
Tango kaka nalingaki kobikisa Isalaele, masumu ya Efrayimi mpe mabe ya Samari ebimaki na pwasa, mpo ete batambolaki na lokuta; miyibi babukaki bandako mpe bato mabe babotolaki bato biloko kati na babalabala.
2 And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.
Bamilobelaka te, kati na mitema na bango, ete Ngai nabosanaka te mabe nyonso oyo basalaka; sik’oyo, misala na bango ya mabe ezingeli bango, ezali tango nyonso liboso na Ngai.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Basepelisaka mokonzi na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe; basepelisaka mpe bakambi na nzela ya lokuta na bango.
4 They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Bango nyonso bazali bandumba, bapelaka na posa lokola moto ya fulu ya mapa, oyo molambi mapa akobaka te kobakisa koni, wuta na tango asangisaki farine kino mapa evimba.
5 In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.
Na mokolo ya feti ya mokonzi na biso, bakambi balangwaka masanga mpe mokonzi asanganaka na batioli.
6 For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire.
Wana mitema na bango epelaka lokola moto ya fulu, bapusanaka pene na ye na mayele mabe. Butu mobimba, balalaka na kanda; mpe na tongo, kanda yango ekomaka kopela lokola moto.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
Bango nyonso bapelaka lokola moto ya fulu, batumbaka bakambi na bango; mpe bakonzi na bango nyonso bakweyaka, moko te kati na bango abelelaka Ngai.
8 Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Efrayimi asangani na bikolo mosusu, akomi lokola galeti oyo ebela malamu te.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.
Bapaya bazali kosilisa ye makasi, kasi ye azali kososola yango te. Azali kokoma mobange, kasi azali kososola yango te.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek him for all this.
Lolendo ya Isalaele ezali kofunda ye, kasi azali komona nyonso wana pamba: azongeli te Yawe, Nzambe na ye; mpe atako bongo, azali kaka koluka Ye te!
11 And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Efrayimi akomi lokola ebenga oyo ekosamaka na bopete mpe ezangi mayele: azali kosenga lisungi epai ya Ejipito, kasi azali mpe kokende na Asiri.
12 When they go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowl of the heavens; I will chastise them, according as their assembly hath heard.
Tango akendaka, nabwakelaka ye monyama mpe nakangaka ye ndenge bakangaka ndeke na likolo. Nakopesa ye etumbu oyo ekoki kolanda ndenge nakebisaki ye na tina na yango kati na lisanga.
13 Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against me. And I would redeem them; but they speak lies against me.
Mawa na bango mpo ete bakimi mosika na Ngai! Tika ete babebisama mpo ete batombokeli Ngai! Wana nazalaki na Ngai kokangola bango, kasi bango, basepelaki kokosela Ngai makambo!
14 And they cried not unto me in their heart, when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and new wine; they have turned aside from me.
Babelelaka Ngai te wuta na mozindo ya mitema na bango, kasi balelaka na bambeto na bango. Tango bamikataka banzoloko mpo na kozwa ble mpe vino ya sika, bakomaka nde mosika na Ngai.
15 I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but they imagine mischief against me.
Ezali Ngai nde nateyaki mpe nakomisaki bango makasi, kasi bango bazalaka kaka na mabongisi ya kosala Ngai mabe.
16 They return, [but] not to the [Most] High: they are like a deceitful bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Bazongelaka te Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bazali lokola tolotolo ebeba; bakambi na bango bakokufa na mopanga likolo ya maloba na bango ezanga limemia. Mpo na yango, bakosambwa kati na Ejipito.
